Do the following:
As part of the storage agent installation, the TSM device driver is installed but not enabled or started on the client system. Do the following:
tsmscsi /enable
Note: | If you have not added the storage agent path to the search path, you must first change to the directory where the storage agent program resides. By default, the path is c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\storageagent. |
You will receive a message similar to the following:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |TSM Windows 2000 / Optical support is enabled on SANCLIENT. | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Or
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |TSM Optical support is enabled on SANCLIENT. | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Note: | The message says that optical support is enabled, however the Managed System for SAN feature does not support the use of optical devices on the SAN. |
To later allow the storage agent to use the SAN devices via the drive mapping on the TSM server, you need to obtain the device name information for the drive mapping commands.
From an MS-DOS command line, enter the following command:
tsmdlst
You will see information similar to the following:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Computer Name: SANCLIENT | |TSM Device Driver: Running | | | |TSM Device Name ID LUN Bus Port TSM Device Type Device Identifier | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |mt8.2.0.1 8 0 0 1 3570 IBM 03570B12 | |lb8.3.0.1 8 1 0 1 LIBRARY IBM 03570B12 | |mt8.4.0.1 9 0 0 1 3570 IBM 03570B12 | |f:\ 0 0 0 0 REMOVABLEFILE n/a | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
You will need the information in the column labeled TSM Device Name to issue the drive mapping commands for these devices on the server (Step 5. Server).
The following is an overview of the steps that you need to do on the TSM server. For details, see Administrator's Guide. On the server, you will do the following:
define drivemapping iris sangroup drivea device=mt8.2.0.1 define drivemapping iris sangroup driveb device=mt8.4.0.1
Note: | For the same device, the device name as known to the server will probably not match the device name as known to the storage agent. If you have a number of drives on the SAN, matching up drives from the viewpoint of a server with that from a client system may be difficult and could require trial-and-error methods. |
See Administrator's Reference for details on the commands.
For a review of the results of the steps that you have just completed, see Figure 4.
